    "I think it will be tight but I think we will nick it by the odd goal."

    John Hartson predicted a 2-2 draw.

    Wales 1-0 England

    It was way back in May 1984 when Wales last tasted victory against England. Stoke manager Mark Hughes was the matchwinner with a bullet header in front of 14,000 fans in Wrexham.

    Quite a different story today...

  4. Bale the wind-up merchantpublished at 12:31 British Summer Time 16 June 2016

    Jermaine Jenas
    Former England midfielder

    "Gareth Bale's comments about Welsh players having more pride and passion than England's are just the biggest wind-up ever.

    "I watched England's game against Russia and saw the devastation on our players' faces when they walked off the pitch with a draw when they deserved to win that game.

    "How do you measure pride and passion anyway? Just because a team jumps on each other when they celebrate a goal, like Wales did against Slovakia, does not mean they care any more than the other team?

    "This England team has got pride, passion and belief too. So, it was a ridiculous statement by Gareth and I was surprised he said it.

    "He is obviously going to be well up for this game against England, because it is probably the biggest he has played in a Wales shirt.

    "But Bale will not be going anywhere near Kyle Walker or Danny Rose down the flanks because they are both machines. Yes, he is quick but so are they and he will not get anything out of them.

    "It is down the middle where his pace can hurt us. He will be thinking that if he can get at Gary Cahill and Chris Smalling he can do some damage."

    England v Wales (14:00 BST)

    Unfortunately at least 36 people have been arrested in Lille following clashes between French police and football fans.

    French police said the arrests had been made throughout Wednesday - adding that 16 people had been taken to hospital.

    On Wednesday night, riot police used tear gas and charged at hundreds of England fans, as flares were set off.

    Uefa this week threatened to disqualify England, from Euro 2016 if there was more violence.

    John Hartson
    Ex-Wales striker on BBC Radio 5 live

    "Hal Robson-Kanu needs to be a presence, Wales will concede a lot of possession. Gareth Bale will play off him and try to get into that bit of space where he can turn and run into space. Ramsey I think will play a bit deeper but Allen and Ledley in front of the three central defenders will have to be disciplined. Hal's role is to be up there and give Bale an option.

    "Hal doesn't have a club. He's in the shop window. What a chance to go and shine."

    The Wales team bus is now winding its way through the narrow streets around the stadium in Lens, it's not the easiest approach. The coach drivers have to execute a really narrow turn with houses either side. Like a challenge on the Krypten Factor. But they're through!

    "Whoever the wide men are in England's attack, they can afford to stay high and wide to stretch the Welsh defensive trio and not track back.

    "If it is Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling again, they can go and stand outside the two wide centre-halves and ahead of the Welsh wing-backs.

    "That would cause Wales huge problems because if their wing-backs push on at all, then they are leaving a three-on-three at the back.

    "England have to be brave to do that, because it would make it an open game, but we need to win it and I think we should be bold. We need to start on the front foot and trust our ability.

    "I am not expecting Wales to park the bus, though. The fact they have three points already means they can take more risks."

  20. Last time we metpublished at 12:18 British Summer Time 16 June 2016

    England v Wales (14:00 BST)

    It is knocking on for five years since the teams last met, with Ashley Young scoring the only goal in England's 1-0 win. It was a Euro 2012 qualifier.

    Here's Phil McNulty's match report:

    England need only a point in Montenegro next month to qualify for Euro 2012 after an unconvincing 1-0 victory against Wales at Wembley.

    Ashley Young's first-half goal allowed Fabio Capello's side to build on Friday's win in Bulgaria and move closer to securing a place in Poland and Ukraine next summer - but this was not a performance to cause any concern among Europe's elite.

    Wales, without the suspended Craig Bellamy and David Vaughan, deserved a point and should have claimed it, only for substitute Robert Earnshaw to miss an open goal with 13 minutes left.
